g.Terry Acton to offer a reward of 250 out of his own pocket to anyone with information about the campaign signs of Robert Buckley that are constantly being stolen. Buckley’s signs are under surveillance at this time. Mike Haleys signs seem to be taken by a woman with blond hair, driving a red car and this is on camera. A written apology from her at this time, sent to our office for Mike would be acceptable. These acts are a misdemeanor. Sad situation, when signs are stolen at any time, especially during an election year.

Comments:

A residents inquired about the resale merchants who are leaving the goods outside all night.

Response was that it is being looked into by Rod Williams, some action has been taken already.

We may need an ordinance to stop this from happening, hopefully, merchants will cooperate without us having to put an ordinance in place.

Maye Rood reminded everyone of the Street Fair in Harrison, which is on August 26th and 27th
